The first 3 solves were done early in the morning after a night of very little sleep due to a persistent cough...
1. My alarm goes off mid-solve and I lose a little time turning it off, plus I hit double-parity and still get within a couple of seconds of my PB single.
2. My nose is itching and have to scratch it multiple times during the solve, plus I hit double parity again. And yet I get my PB single by nearly 20 seconds.
3. No distractions this time, everything goes well and I beat my old PB but not my new PB.

Back in the evening...
4. Exhausted from work and my lack of sleep, I (somewhat understandably) completely mess up the first center multiple times and am generally slow through the rest of the solve. No-parity case is wasted.
5. Immediately continue with the final solve, don't do anything special (hit single-parity) and once again beat my old PB. My average is lower than my previous PB single.

My 2018 PB average was 8:11, and in the space of literally 15 solves (3 weeks worth of weekly competitions, no practice solves) I've somehow cut over a minute off my PB.

1) 1:21.63 - flipped edge.
2) Incredibly easy corners... only I forgot to memo the last letter resulting in thinking no parity when there was. Didn't realise until I'd triple checked edges, gave up in disgust. Even though I didn't execute, this is a huge PB fail.
3) Decent.

1. Super easy scramble. Messed up a comm (finger slipped) but was successfully able to recover.
2. AHHH Super easy scramble as well. I memo'd an extra target on corners, then memo'd edges without parity, then realized there actually was parity, then redid memo.
3. Eh, fine for the scramble I guess.

1. DNF. Bleh. 5 edge cycles and I missed the 5th. 2e
2. Went super slow. Thought I had 3 edge cycles but there were just 2, so I thought maybe I was missing a 2-cycle of edges like on the first solve? But I wasn't. Super slow and safe.
3. Slow and safe. I forgot the 12th target of my edge memo so I spent like 3 minutes going through every letter until I found the one I'd missed.

1. 5:38.44[3:04.83] 9X 4W (must have turned a slice wrong somewhere; so disappointing - very fast!)
2. 5:43.95[3:19.99] 2C (thought they were in place, but they were swapped) 2X (uncertain why - apparently misscrambled)
3. 5:22.44[2:27.30] 3W (memorized PG instead of OG)
Very disappointing - but very fast. Third one would have been a new PB.

1. 18:25.81[10:32.13] 2E (memorized wrong - parity mismatch; figured out which piece needed to be changed from visual memory, but got the flip wrong) 2+ (executed two pairs out of order) (I also memorized the X centers and part of the + centers of this in the wrong orientation before realizing my mistake - a total disaster)
2. 10:37.75[5:55.69] Wow, that was a lot better than the first one! 7 seconds off my PB from last week!
3. 10:23.96[5:59.39] And... new PB! Amazing. It's all because of execution; I'm taking a little more time than I need to memorize, and finding that then I can execute with very few pauses.

1. 14:34.97[7:19.91] nice 2nd pb!
2. 14:31.75[8:12.02] 2 corners, exed the wrong sticker
3. 12:46.74[6:13.24] what a time!!! But off by 3 wings - very stupid exe-mistake and the same I did on the first 4bld this week. It was trying to solve the swap of two wings directly with setup - parity- setup' ...

nice single after a long time, used new method for doing xcenters and obliques, there is half information in memo that usual piece tracking takes, so less information to memorize, but I have to get acquainted to this system, so I am slow at first.

My first attempt at 9 and my first time hitting an hour.
5 Unsolved:
1. Was solving corners when time ran out, would have finished.
2. Executed edges, couldn't remember corners and was going to go back to it.
3. 3c
4. 12e (I think I just forgot to execute edges...?)
5. My 3BLD cube, was panicking under time pressure and messed up like my 2nd alg... probably should have given up then, but I tried to save it. Total mess.

Inspired by Adam Swaine's NR, and also because I need to practise feet before comps next month.
3) PLL skip, first PB single since June.
So close to PB Ao5 (and Mo3 =( ).. though to be fair I've done no solves for months so I'm not too disappointed.

2 - Really good start (so many options!!), virtually spent the whole hour on it, had a 25 on it (that I found near the start) before I found this, only found this skeleton with less than 10 mins left :P

3 - Really cool way of solving that F2L-1 after 223, I don't think I've done that before.

1. Tried to get DR for a bit, but it was a pretty good setup with just normal EO.
2. The worse 5c cancellations of my life. 16-1.
3. Found the long PLL skip with 40 minutes left, couldn't find anything better.

1. Easy 2x2 but really bad continuation :( I'll check the other people to see how they managed that.

2. I really expected to cancel more moves in this solve, but not even 4 for corners :(. The edge alg is a bit new for me for the optimal solution... Inserted a 9 mover which cancelled 1 at least :(. going for a bad mean...

1. Really expected better from that start.
2. Couldn't find anything better than my backup skeleton, but the backup skeleton didn't work. Ran out of time trying to fix it.
3. Misjudged the time it would take to try insertions on my better skeletons - none of them gave better results than my AB3C backup skeleton, but I didn't have time to do the corner insertions for it.

Found a nice X-cross, then played around and found that one earlier move on the back side could help the f2l pairs like crazy. Then simple two move to the third pair, and normal f2l for fourth then OLL and PLL.

Yuck. I spent way too long trying to figure out how to solve the L3E+L4C in a single insertion, didn't manage it, and so had to rush this poor solution. After the time I eventually found a single insertion solution, but it still only gave a 33. Here it is:
